Haven XL Hammock Tent First Look

I bought the Haven XL Hammock Tent... My first non-budget shelter. This is my first look and thoughts (and a couple of hacks) on lay flat hammock tent and ground bivy tent.
I do not see this tent at 7+ pounds being a backpacking tent for any but the most sturdy of hikers or for the traditional hammock enthusiast. This is, however, a camper's dream of the best sleep in the outdoors..
